This research proposes the use of hardware emulation for inverter plants for the first time. This results in a new low cost, safe and robust solution for teaching control strategies for power electronics inverter circuits, composed of a digital controller (DSP or FPGA) connected to the inverter “hardware emulation circuit”. The inverter dynamical behavior is emulated by cheap operational amplif...

─ the paper describes the operational principle of flying capacitor and modular multilevel inverters.

This paper proposes an H-Bridge Cascaded Three phase Multilevel Inverter. The proposed three phase Cascaded Multilevel Inverter makes use of single DC source. The proposed three phase Multilevel Inverter uses series connected three phase transformers so the number of single phase transformers used in traditional three phase Multilevel Inverter can be reduced. Hence the volume of the circuit is ...

This paper focus on a special type of inverter topology for photo voltaic applications. The proposed system is a grid connected inverter system based on interleaved flyback topology. Aim of this paper is to design flyback inverter at high power because today’s PV inverter technology based on this topology only used at very low power as micro inverter. The analysis of proposed flyback inverter a...

This project presents a three-level diode-clamped inverter feeding an asynchronous motor drive with direct torque control (DTC). The control method is based on DTC operating principles. The stator voltage vector reference is computed from the stator flux and torque errors imposed by the flux and torque controllers. This voltage reference is then generated using a diode-clamped inverter, where e...

A compact dc/ac inverter for automotive is presented and experimented. The proposed inverter consists of fall bridge inverter and a new ZVCS quasi-resonant push pull dc/dc converter. The new dc/dc converter converts input 12 V (from battery) to high voltage (about) 200V at very high conversion efficiency without regulation. The high voltage will be converted to ac at the desired voltage and fre...
